Working on the Jelly Roll Race Xmas Quilt

On Tuesday, I picked up the Xmas jelly roll from Upland Vac & Sew for the race that is scheduled to be on October 15th. I'm now working on geting the sample up and ready to show. I already have it all pieced together and I'm very please with the results!! :-) Now I'm working on what to applique? Hmmmm ~ I found a free clipart of Santa in his sleigh with a reindear. I enlarged it and I think this will work well with a 10" full moon behind it. For the appliqued wording... I think I will use the last line from the story "T'was the Night Before Christmas" ..... Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night! I'm going to use a bright gold thread with a fancy decorative stitch to quilt it. Hopefully, it will be completed by the weekend so I can bring it into the store to show off and get some interested students. I'll be posting some pics.
